Nitrobenzene

Nitrobenzene is an organic compound made up of a benzene ring with a nitro group (-NO2) attached to it. It is a pale yellow liquid with a sweet, almond-like odor. Nitrobenzene is primarily used to make aniline, which is an important chemical for dyes, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. While it has various industrial applications, it is also toxic and poses environmental risks, making proper handling and disposal crucial. Additionally, nitrobenzene is a component in some explosives, highlighting the need for caution in its use.
